Christmas Tree Recycling

Place your Christmas tree curbside on your regularly scheduled collection day during the first two weeks in January. Remember to remove all tinsel and ornaments, cut your tree down if it is larger than 6 feet and set it out on the curb with your yard trimmings cart for collection.

To avoid disposal problems, do not purchase trees that are flocked or chemically treated. Trees will be recycled into mulch for use in landscaping applications.

Alameda County Ban on Single Use Bags

The Alameda County Waste Management Authority adopted an ordinance to reduce the use of single-use carryout bags and promote the use of reusable bags. As of January 1, 2013, grocery stores and other retailers in Alameda County that sell packaged food can no longer provide single-use plastic carryout bags, nor can they distribute paper bags or reusable bags for free at checkout.

A reusable bag can replace more than 600 single-use plastic bags over its lifetime. Shopping with reusable bags helps reduces litter and waste, protects creeks and the bay, and conserves natural resources.
